Zinc Oxide - USP (22.67 kg)

Zinc Oxide USP is an odorless powder with a white to yellow appearance, obtained via vaporization and oxidation of metallic zinc. This variety of zinc oxide is non-nano, meaning no particles are smaller than 100 nanometers in this grade which is ideal for mineral-based sunscreen formulations. Non-nano Zinc oxide is a UVA and UVB absorber, frequently used in the formulation of sun protectants, ointments, or cosmetic products claiming potential sun protection benefits. This material is also widespread throughout the personal-care industry in topical products such as rash or itch relief creams, anti-dandruff shampoos, calamine, or topical balms for minor irritations. Zinc oxide is an essential component in the human body, making it a preferred ingredient for supplement and nutraceutical product manufacturing. Industrial applications are also commonplace and include but are not limited to paints, rubber, ink, plastics, enamels, glass, electronics, and adhesives.
